Shortly after seemingly quelling a Democratic rebellion over his candidacy, two of President Joe Biden’s most powerful allies have shown signs of wavering.
Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) have privately signaled doubt in Biden’s reelection campaign, in contrast to their public shows of support. After Pelosi caused a firestorm for wavering comments around Biden on Wednesday, Politico, citing about half a dozen lawmakers and others familiar with the matter, reported on Thursday that she has been privately expressing her wish that Biden drop out, believing him unable to win the election.
